Did some checking on prices. Even at a discount price for trex (1.50 ln
ft). , way to expensive.


Comparable to cedar, mahogany is closer to $2, Ipe is about $2.15


Next questions. I got the porch already built.
But has turn grey . Power washer ? How do i restore so that the new deck
matches closely ?

Sanding it may work. It is not a coating, but the wood itself changed color
from the UV rays of the sun. Most woods will turn gray over time unless
protected. Either life with it and the deck will catch up, or stain the
entire thing.
